Community Emergency Response Team

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.

When Tragedies Strike

by Tim Habert, Parma, Ohio CERT Member

When Tragedies Strike,
be they large or small,
they somehow seem,
to affect us all.

The Disaster is here,
my community's broken,
the help I can give,
is only a token.

To help out my neighbors,
and help them get through,
I'm a member of CERT,
and that's what I do.
